Errors were found during the backup process

greetings myob community!

 

I am experiencing the above error message when trying to perform a backup of my accountright premier AU 2023.1.0, my build number is 2023.1.24.7870. I am a techie, but not yet familiar with the product, and all I need is a database file.

 

Interestingly/amusingly, I next get a message telling me that the backup was successful, but no file is written to my specified location.

 

I log in, I go to file - backup, specify a location (c:\temp), enter a password and click the "back up" button. This worked yesterday and I got my myox file in the specified folder.

 

Nothing has changed as far as i am aware, other than I got slightly older.

 

Please help :-)

 

Thanks, Ben

    Hi BenRichardson 

     

    Thanks for sending that through.

     

    From the error message that mentions being unable to find the backupPath, it might be related to the required Windows Shares not being created properly during AccountRight installation.

     

    Can you please follow the steps mentioned in this Help Article: AccountRight Library Services issues.
